Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

Kabuto, the cunning old scoundrel, learned from Sasuke and Naruto that Rock Lee was a very powerful ninja, and that Liu Tianci's strength might even be above Rock Lee. He silently noted down this important information and planned to report it to Lord Orochimaru for a more detailed review in the future.

During this process, Kabuto was not idle. He came up with a plan and decided to join hands with the Sound Ninjas to stage a play, creating some small chaos to see if he could get more information from it or observe the reactions of the Genin. They deliberately made some noises, attracting the attention of many people.

However, their plan did not succeed. Morino Ibiki, an experienced ninja, quickly took control of the situation as soon as he entered the arena. With his sharp eyes, he saw through the intentions of Kabuto and the others at a glance and calmly stopped their nonsense. Then, he announced the official start of the first match of the Chunin Exam.

This written test not only tests the criminal investigation ability of the Genin, but also tests their basic abilities. Even if they don't plagiarize, as long as they can show solid basic skills, they can get good scores. And the additional question is a test of the Genin's team cohesion. They need to cooperate with each other and solve problems together to pass the test smoothly.

The examinees showed their strengths one after another. Ningci opened his Byakugan and peeked into their papers like an X-ray. Liu Tianci was not to be outdone. He tried to use the skill of Legilimency and successfully identified the two traitors who had the correct answers. He then copied down their answers mercilessly.

Then, he gave Xiao Li a soothing look, signaling him to relax his guard. Then, Liu Tianci quietly cast the Soul Reaper Curse, gently controlled Xiao Li's body, and answered questions for Rock Lee, a reckless man who couldn't copy or write. This wizard's magic was really wonderful and very useful.

Afterwards, he even had the idea of ​​placing an order with NPC Hermione to buy a few cheating quills, just in case. Presumably, the quills would be able to help him, and he decided to give a five-star rating to express his praise for this magical cheating tool.

Originally, Naruto had an idea in his mind, wanting Liu Tianci to reveal some clues to the answer. However, he did not really understand the meaning and value of this exam. After a lot of inner struggle, he finally chose to give up the idea of ​​cheating.

Naruto knows that true growth and progress do not rely on the help of others or cheating, but need to rely on one's own strength and hard work. He firmly believes that only by advancing in an upright way can he truly stand at the top of the Hokage and realize his dream.

Therefore, Naruto made up his mind to meet this exam with his truest self and prove his worth with his own strength. He believed that only in this way could he move towards a more glorious future and ascend to the throne of Hokage.

In the original plot, there were originally 26 groups with a total of 78 people who successfully passed the first level. However, due to Liu Tianci's intervention, Tiantian was assigned to other ninja teams. As a result, there are now 27 groups with a total of 81 people who have passed the first level.

This sudden change made the examiner in charge of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko, feel a little awkward. She is a perfectionist, and the fact that the number of teams cannot be divided by 2 almost caused her obsessive-compulsive disorder to flare up. Anko knew that such a grouping would bring many inconveniences to her subsequent exam arrangements.

So, Hongdou decided to make some adjustments to try to rebalance the number of people. She prepared 13 heavenly scrolls and the same number of earthly scrolls, ready to randomly distribute to the 26 groups of candidates. As for the extra 27th group, they will randomly draw one of the two scrolls, heavenly and earthly.

Hongdou stipulated that as long as each group could successfully cross the Death Forest and reach the destination within 5 days with the scrolls of heaven and earth in their hands, they would pass the exam. This arrangement not only ensured the fairness of the exam, but also alleviated Hongdou's obsession with incomplete numbers to a certain extent.

Entering the eerie forest of death, Neji immediately opened his Byakugan and carefully explored the surroundings. After confirming that no one was watching, he confidently handed the Heaven's Scroll to Liu Tianci for safekeeping. Liu Tianci then cleverly made two realistic fake scrolls and gave them to Neji and Rock Lee respectively, in case of emergency.

Afterwards, Liu Tianci cast an illusion spell, making the figures of the three people blurry and elusive. They decided to take the initiative to hunt down the enemies carrying the scrolls.

Rock Lee and Neji discussed finding a team of equal strength to snatch their scrolls, and letting go of the weaker teams from their own village. They adhered to the principle of not bullying the weak, so in the original plot, they chose to let go of the weaker teams such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Liu Tianci didn't care about this. He knew very well that in the ninja world, being weak often meant being easier to be prey. However, he also knew that as long as the three of them worked together and didn't encounter powerful opponents like Orochimaru and Gaara, they were fully capable of walking sideways in the Death Forest and no one could defeat them.

However, as night fell, an accident came quietly. Liu Tianci was cautious and worried that there were unknown dangers lurking in the forest at night, so he cast protective magic in the tree hole where the three of them were resting, such as "General Protection" and "Muggle Expulsion Spell", in order to protect them from the outside world. However, these strange energy fluctuations attracted Orochimaru who was hiding in the dark.

Xiao Li was sharp-eyed. Seeing a Kusanagi dare to come alone to provoke him, his blood immediately boiled and he was ready to fight. But Liu Tianci stopped him in time and whispered: "Stop, that's not an ordinary person." He recognized at a glance that it was Orochimaru who used the "Erasing Face Technique".

This is an extremely cold-blooded ninjutsu that can take over the appearance of another person, and because it uses a real human face, it is almost invulnerable. Even Neji, who opened his Byakugan, mistakenly thought he was just an ordinary Genin.

Lee and Neji looked at Liu Tianci with doubts, and Orochimaru also showed great interest in this boy who could see through his true identity. According to Kabuto's information, this boy may have a good strength and even master some ninjutsu (magic) that even Orochimaru doesn't know. An unknown challenge and contest is quietly unfolding in the Forest of Death.

Liu Tianci showed his determination and courage by taking out the real scroll without hesitation and destroying it in front of Orochimaru. He mistakenly thought that Orochimaru's crazy behavior was coveting Rock Lee or Neji Hyuga's body, so he took the initiative to show weakness in an attempt to protect Rock Lee and Neji.
